During the conference, ETF Robotics had the opportunity to co-organize a special session titled “𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀”, focused on the latest research and industrial practices at the intersection of robotics, AI, and intelligent manufacturing.
The special session was jointly organized by:
• Tadej Petric, Jožef Stefan Institute – Principal Organizer
• Kosta Jovanovic, University of Belgrade
• Aljaz Kramberger, University of Southern Denmark
• Panagiotis Karagiannis, University of Patras
• Emel Demircan, California State University
• Yoshikawa Taizo, Honda Research Institute
As part of the session, our team presented the paper:
“𝗖𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝘄𝗶𝗻-𝗘𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗙𝗮𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻”
𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘀: Nikola Knežević, Milos Dimcic, PhD, Sasha Jokic, Kosta Jovanovic
The paper addresses how cognitive robotics and digital twin technologies can enable more intelligent and flexible processes in house design and fabrication – reducing construction time and costs, while simultaneously supporting workers and enhancing their well-being on construction sites.
This work is a direct outcome of the collaboration between Cosmic and ETF Robotics, demonstrating one of the core goals of our CITADELS – Horizon WIDERA project: strengthening academia–industry collaboration and increasing the number of high-quality cross-sectoral scientific publications.
We are particularly proud that the first house built using the presented technology by Cosmic has already been realized in California, USA, underscoring how close this research is to real deployment.
